KILN, Mississippi (AP) — Hancock County authorities are investigating the death of 1-year-old boy who suffered traumatic head injuries in Kiln.
Sheriff’s Cmdr. Glenn Grannan tells The Sun Herald deputies responded to a home on Thursday and found toddler suffering from cerebral bleeding and hemorrhaging.
Grannan said the child was at his grandparents’ home, where he and his mother lived.
He was taken to Hancock Medical Center in Bay St. Louis and was later airlifted to Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans. Grannan said the toddler died just after midnight Saturday.
Hancock County Coroner Jim Faulk said he will take the body of 15-month-old Maddox Vieregge to the state medical examiner for autopsy.
Grannan did not say how the child was injured, but he said officials have collected witness accounts.
